Knowledge Review

January 30 - 31, 1997

Each fellow will give a presentation up to eighteen minutes covering the major issues of his or her thesis. Presentations should address the problem considered, a brief synopsis of methods used, results and conclusions. We will then allow up to seven minutes of questions. Each of the seven sessions address a LFM research area (one will be a combination of two). At the end of each session, members of the class of 1997 will provide a fifteen minute summary of the session.

The following topics should be covered in the presentation:

  • What were the goals
  • What they did
  • Why it was important
  • What they accomplished
  • What they learned
  • What were measurable benefits
